Situation
Reflection for the Web 2008 introduced enhanced support for JAWS for
Windows. JAWS enables terminal display, as well as the graphical user
interface (GUI), to be readable by the screen reader. This technical
note lists the requirements for JAWS support.
Resolution
To support the JAWS screen reader, you must have the following products installed:
- Reflection for the Web 2014, 2011, or 2008, or Reflection Security Gateway 2014 or 2011
- JAWS for Windows, from Freedom Scientific
For information about this product, see the Freedom Scientific web site at:

Note the following:
- If JAWS is configured to read your keystrokes aloud, your password will be vocalized when you enter it.
- In some instances, when the Reflection terminal display is refreshed, JAWS is not prompted to read the text. To manually prompt JAWS to read the screen, press Insert + Down Arrow (Say All).
